Premium Member Landscape with Yellow Birds - Paul Klee
All the things to recall Trapped within a labyrinth Giving dead eye stares Of disapproval and encouragement No bubbles for up and out Or airflow to get bearings Just a maze With a gaze That stops me In my tracks I know I'm under Know I'm under But I must have Taken a deep breath To stay there For so long It's not water you cry, someone cries Just breathe...

Premium Member Fish Paul Klee 1925
It's deep blue, we're submerged Thoughts are bubbles, feelings purged It's short term memory, life span Repeating circles, since time began We're wrong place, right plane Shafts of dark, but light remains Labrynthine world, yet open space Blind eye staring blind eye in the face Decompose as decompress Waste existence pondering what to confess Windmills of tailspins Gulps of air not cleansing black soul sins Cold dead...

Premium Member Ghost Chamber with the Tall Door - Paul Klee

Premium Member Twittering Machine Paul Klee 1922
The hand crank sounds about right There's a them, with a master plan But how much variance is there? A rotation becoming monotonous Until there's no hand in sight Those with feet fixed to the wire They squawk and twitter, flail... Taking no comfort from each other Just enough blueprint lingers For the plan to feel recoverable "It'll be ok..." "Let's resume the rotations!" Glee? Oh it's...

A Stroll with Paul Klee
To pick up a line and take it for a stroll. The essential is within, the mystics say, but equally important is the outside: a stunning summer sky, two wind-whipped clouds, in the intense green background a dazzling yellow field. The line crosses dead centre. To draw breath for surfaces, smooth and cross-hatched: first impressions of place. A distant rumbling. Scene changed...

Premium Member Fleas Chickadees Chimpanzee and Mr Paul Klee
In magnificent memory of Vee See’s zaniest chimpanzee Probably discussed by merry monkey’s chipping chickadee Readily and aptly apparent by three who seldom agree Incredibly supping with Mamie, Marjorie and Mr. Paul Klee Please pass the honey and the light brie said brazen bumblebee. No one capably eats brie with lemon tea said a flickering flea. Advice is free but listen,...
